Fielders
Fielders originally began trading in 1900 as R.W. Fielder. Later named R.W. Fielder and Son, the company became famous for manufacturing nails and as one of the first to roll-form corrugated and V crimp sheeting. In 1992, the name changed to Fielders Steel Roofing with a desire to provide quality products and service to the roofing market. Today the Fielders name is easily recognised and respected with both tradesmen and the general public.

Woodroffe Sheetmetal
Commencing at R.B. Woodroffe in 1936, the company quickly grew to be one of the largest plumbing contractors in South Australia. Woodroffe Sheetmetal was a part of this business and, under the control of Peter Woodroffe and management of Ron Jantzen, became a major rollformer in the state in the 1960’s. It was during this time the company introduced purlins, carports, skylights and other products, quickly becoming a local icon.

Cowells / Auspine Sheetmetal
Commencing in 1869 as general merchandisers and known initially as Cowell Brothers, the company purchased Lietztke Sheetmetal in the late 1960’s and renamed the business Cowell Steel. The business quickly grew to become a major supplier to the building trade. Purchased from the Simpson family and renamed Auspine Sheetmetal in the 1990’s, the company then became part of Fielders in January 2000. Today the Cowells name still remains closely linked with the building trade.
